Hundreds of thousands will resettle here\, but the U.S. education system is largely failing refugee and immigrant students. Over five million English language learners (ELLs) are enrolled in schools nationwide\, yet among them\, only 14% achieve English language proficiency. Nationally\, the dropout rate of ELLs is 40%\, and these students are five times more likely to be out of school than their peers. \nHow can we design schools and classrooms to not only welcome our new students\, but also provide environments where robust learning can occur? The nonprofit Fugees Family has reimagined schools for refugees and immigrants who are learning English\, offering specialized education and centering on soccer as a way to\, among other things\, create a sense of belonging. Fugees Academies in Georgia and Ohio now serve as innovation hubs for school districts nationwide seeking support for their newcomer and ELL programs. \nIn this edWebinar\, viewers: \n\nLearn more about the Fugees model and hear personal stories and inspiration behind the Fugees Academies\nDive into specific examples of how Fugees is partnering with districts to build and transform schools for refugee and immigrant students\nExplore the relevance of whole-child teaching and learning and learner variability within schools embracing refugee and immigrant students\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders of all grade levels.  \n  \nAbout the Presenters  \nLuma Mufleh is a Syrian/Jordanian entrepreneur\, coach\, and thought leader in refugee and English Language Learner education.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Carrie Doom\, Director of Success Management\, Lexia® Learning; and Michele Pulver\, Director of Success Management\, Lexia® Learning \nSponsored by Lexia Learning \nWatch the Recording Listen to the PodcastRead the Article \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nThe resurgence of equity as a buzzword in the media has resulted in an influx of vendors and thought leaders talking about the “best” ways to close equity gaps\, often without research to back it up. To truly make a difference for students\, educators need to focus on what the evidence says\, and the evidence points to literacy. \nLiteracy is at the heart of educational equity\, and today\, too many students are still not able to read proficiently. Educators need better support\, resources\, and tools to teach reading in a way that helps ALL students learn. Students and their learning needs are diverse\, but we have the research on how to reach each and every one of them. That research is the Science of Reading\, which is brought into the classroom through Structured Literacy and differentiated instruction. \nWatch this edWebinar with educational experts Dr. Carrie Doom and Michele Pulver to learn what literacy instruction needs to be equitable\, and how to implement those proven\, equitable instructional practices in our classrooms and schools today. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the K-8 grades. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Carrie Doom has a passion for education and meeting the needs of struggling learners in literacy\, math\, and behavior. Dr. Doom started her career with rural school districts in Colorado and continued in urban and suburban schools in Clark County School District in Las Vegas\, Nevada as a PreK–12 special education teacher and special education liaison. She currently serves districts as the director of success management at Lexia Learning and has been supporting districts through Lexia and Voyager Sopris for the last 14 years. \n\nMichele Pulver has been in education and professional development for more than 20 years. She is passionate about literacy\, the Science of Reading\, and utilizing technology to boost classroom instruction and student achievement. Michele is a speech-language pathologist by training and worked in private practice and in public schools providing therapy services prior to joining the corporate world.

However\, we need to support teachers as they expand their toolbox of strategies to include tactics to address the more extreme issues that are arising for kids both in and out of school. By strengthening such communication and connections\, schools can continue to build a safe environment and positive culture so that the whole school community can thrive. \nIn this edLeader Panel\, teachers are equipped with research-based practices to build a resilient school culture. They grasp how to create a strengths-based framework to better understand\, recognize\, and respond to the effect of trauma schoolwide. Panelists Paralympian Harrison Orpe and seventh-grade teacher Laurie Nociar dive deep into practices from their respective fieldwork in therapy and schools\, sharing strategies and practices applicable to both adults and students. Come join us to learn more about how trauma-informed care and practices can help shift culture\, promote self-care and wellness\, and address whole-child education\, leading to improved academic and behavioral outcomes. \nThis recorded edLeader Panel is of interest to K-12 and higher education teachers\, librarians\, counselors\, and school and district leaders. \n \nAbout the Presenter \nHarrison Orpe has been involved in sports from a very early age playing baseball\, sledge hockey\, and wheelchair rugby. Prior to starting wheelchair rugby\, Harrison began strength training and gained considerable strength and muscle over a period of five years. While playing wheelchair rugby\, Harrison discovered para athletics and thought it would suit him well considering his strength and power. \nIn his first international competition\, he won gold in both javelin and shot put. He currently holds the Canadian record in seated javelin at 14.03m and is just centimeters away from the Canadian record in seated shot put as well. Harrison hopes to represent Canada again in future competitions. His ultimate goal is to compete in the 2024 Paralympics in Paris\, France. \n \nLaurie Nociar\, a seventh-grade teacher\, is in her eighth year with Classroom Champions and is based in Bear Creek Elementary in Surrey\, B.C.\, Canada. She loves the sense of community created among students and teachers created by Classroom Champions and finds the organization to be an effective support system. When asked about the impact of Classroom Champions\, Laurie shares that “our Classroom Champions mentor offers advice and support beyond what students get from parents and teachers. Having a world-class athlete taking the time to build that solid relationship does wonders for a student’s confidence and self-esteem.” \n \nDr. Janet Ilko’s role as an educational leader is to create and support learning environments that challenge every student to be their best and to make sure that every student has access to high-quality content and instruction. What she has learned in all her educational research is that there are no clear-cut answers to meeting the needs of diverse learners in the classroom—no cookie-cutter program will educate our youth. What she still knows to be true\, however\, is that when you build a safe community\, and student voice and interest is addressed and honored\, students learn. More importantly\, they value the learning. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nAnjoli Santiago comes with years of experience in the education world starting as a performing teaching artist in Philadelphia\, a full-time teacher in the South Bronx\, a program manager\, and so much more. Proud to be a part of the Classroom Champions team\, Anjoli supports rockstar teachers and excellent social and emotional programming across the nation. She is excited to share space with you today! \n \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Creating a Positive School Climate community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, and receive invitations to upcoming edLeader Panels. \n\nClassroom Champions is a non-profit and registered charity that connects volunteer Olympians\, Paralympians\, and Professional Athletes to classrooms through a K-8 social and emotional-based curriculum and mentorship experience. \n\n \nClassLink empowers your students and teachers with instant access to their learning resources.

SUMMARY:How to Stop the "I'm Just a Teacher" Mantra That Fuels Burnout
DESCRIPTION:​Presented by ​Terrie Noland\, Ph.D.\, CALP​\, Vice President\, Educator Initiatives​\, Learning Ally\nModerated by Elizabeth Zwerg\, Community Manager\, Learning Ally \nSponsored by Learning Ally \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \n“Have you said these words? It’s confession time: I’ve said it many times myself\, ‘I’m just a teacher.’ Unfortunately\, it took me over 20 years to realize my worth not only in the classroom but also as an administrator. I wish I had understood my value despite what society said\, despite the culture I was in\, and despite how I felt about my role as an educator and administrator at the time.” – Terrie Noland \nIn this edWebinar\, Terrie addresses two distinct issues regarding the “I’m just a teacher” mantra perpetuated in the hearts and minds of so many educators. \n\nClassroom teachers walk away knowing their worth\, being equipped to embody a lead-large philosophy\, and knowing how to replace the word “just” with “justified.”\nAdministrators are resourced to cast the vision of a school or district that claims authority over negative self-talk and drives power and purpose in each staff and faculty role that will help to prevent burnout.\n\nIt’s high time to place value where value belongs and dismantle the self-deprecating perception of one of the world’s most influential and epic professions — education! This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders of all grade levels. \nAbout the Presenter \nListen. Learn. Teach. It’s that simple. Terrie Noland uses this philosophy as an innovator and a motivator\, and it’s evident as she leads\, coaches and mentors thousands of K-12 educators about the science of reading each year. She has a unique perspective on the need to unify all stakeholders around a vision for education to smash the reading divide for the millions of struggling readers. Her daily mission is to add value to educators to help influence transformational changes in school districts across the country by addressing the needs of marginalized students. Terrie seeks to share her expertise and passion to encourage and to illuminate a path towards success and measurable outcomes. \nIf you looked at Terrie’s resume\, you would be confused. Her undergraduate and graduate degree work placed her in the field of criminal justice. However\, it was through continuous listening and learning that led her on a journey in education starting out in preschool teaching and administration\, then becoming a Certified Academic Language Practitioner (CALP) and earning a Ph.D. in literacy and educational leadership from St. John’s University. Terrie is also a John Maxwell certified speaker and coach. \nAs Vice President of Educator Initiatives at Learning Ally\, Terrie works to ignite enthusiasm and excitement by building champion educators and administrators on creating cultures of literacy and learning. \n  \nAbout the Moderator \nElizabeth Zwerg serves as Learning Ally’s Community Manager\, empowering educators in their journey toward literacy leadership. Elizabeth taught elementary school for seven years in urban\, Title 1 schools and is passionate about solving the equity gap in education. She believes strong educator relationships are central to a child’s learning\, and addressing the needs of the whole child is the framework in which authentic learning occurs. Elizabeth loves serving and connecting with educators because she knows “no authentic learning occurs without an authentic relationship.” \nElizabeth holds a BA in political science\, an MA in conflict resolution\, and co-built a large online community dedicated to empowering women to travel solo\, and served that group for many years as the volunteer community manager. \nWhen not geeking out with other educator friends about instructional practices\, you can find Elizabeth exploring another corner of this vast\, beautiful world. Having traveled to over 34 countries\, she is passionate about diving deep into other cultures\, wandering around markets in foreign lands\, and photographing the big night skies in Texas where she lives with her husband\, Michael\, and German Shepherd\, Sienna. Elizabeth enthusiastically grabs onto opportunities to connect with others and nature. \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Empowering Struggling Readers community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nLearning Ally is a leading education solutions organization committed to transforming the lives of struggling learners.

Students with special education needs\, such as students who have an ADHD diagnosis\, autism\, or learning disability\, can receive the extra help and practice they need through self-paced lessons in a VR format that is engaging and motivational. For many students with special education needs\, the ability to focus is a struggle along with memory retention. The use of VR software can significantly help students address their lagging skills and build their confidence and self-esteem. \nWatch this edWebinar to learn how VR can help students with special education needs develop knowledge\, skills\, and attitudes in ways that can be otherwise challenging. We discuss how VR affords a truly personal experience for students and what that means for students with diverse needs and learning styles that arise from their disabilities. Find out how differentiated learning in a regular education classroom is made easy by utilizing VR. \nViewers also learn how to access lessons on any Chromebook\, laptop\, MacBook\, or iPad through “WebXR\,” without needing a VR headset. Through immersive VR technology\, software and hardware users can immerse themselves into a virtual experience or location thereby providing a more impactful lasting memory of that experience. In a VR setting\, students can interact with what they see as if they were there. The non-judgmental nature of the VR experience allows students to engage in experiences as often as needed to obtain mastery at their own pace and build confidence. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, education technology leaders\, and school and district leaders of the middle and high school grades. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nGlenn Collins has been working with educators to improve learning outcomes through the utilization of technology for almost 40 years.

SUMMARY:Remote and Hybrid Learning: How Online Instruction Can Make a Difference in the Long Haul
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tim Sun\, Math and Physics Teacher\, Northern Academy of the Arts (NY); Jovariya Ahsan\, Data and Systems Manager\, The Tutor Trust; and Ian Carlson\, Math and Chess Instructor\, MathAltitude School of Mathematics (MA) \nSponsored by VEDAMO \nThe session recording is no longer available. \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nHow will teachers and tutors use remote and hybrid learning after the pandemic? Online learning was the best bad option when schools had to weather shutdowns over the past couple of years. Educators know that face-to-face instruction is optimal for most learners most of the time. But one of the bright spots to come out of our recent experience is a better understanding of where virtual instruction does work well. Many educators are now thinking about where these hard-won lessons can be applied in a targeted way. \nThis edWebinar provides educators with ideas and strategies from front-line practitioners on how online learning is making a difference in very different environments. This shift is a global phenomenon\, so our two United States-based educators are joined by an expert from the United Kingdom. \nThe session covers how three different organizations are using online learning\, and a lively discussion fueled by audience questions dives deeper into the topic. Viewers have a broader perspective on where online approaches can improve student outcomes.
